FYI, there are guys using deck spacers on the 500" Hemi99 to achieve 650+ ci. It may not be the best way to get there(as i understand it) but it does work.




Do you know anybody who makes them?




I might be able to find out, give me a couple days to look into it.

money is not an option here- that's why i'm slow! however, if money is no object, then if you spend enough, you can do anything. really! you should be able to get in the vicinity of 1850 hp or so. it will put you deep into 6 figures, maybe 7, but why not? it would be FUN. do it.


for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

I agree with Bob that if you decide to stay with a Mopar you will be ata decided disadvantage.

I have been considering going back to heads up stuff with a Mopar, maybe... Just not so sure that is a wise decision on my part. I do not think I can be competitve with what is available even with liberal rules in the PSCA. So do I drop a lot of coin to go race where at best I may be competitve for a year tops. I just dont see anything out there that would make the power needed to run all motor heads up. Tough call, I have seen some of the brand X stuff in the works and the developement behind it and frankly it is swaying my decision greatly. Maybe I will just move up in the door car bracket stuff, but even there trying to find a Mopar to run with is a difficult task...

If money is no object then a NA engine would be a complete waiste of time . A full on Predator and a 99 are close around 550ish head flow I think . The ballpark for a 650 CID are 1300 Plus or minus 10 percent.

That 900+ Sonny engine for $90,000 is meant for heads up guys that are looking for the NA weight break .
I went a 7.40 @ 195 with 4600 feet of air last weekend ( acctualy 7.406 and a 7,413 back to back ) with 14 pounds of boost on the AMS 1000.

Making 1300 hp with a Indy head or a Edelbrock head can be done in a garage with a Procharger or a turbo . ( for a lot lesss that $90,000 )



6.50 @ 226 MPH 4.25 @ 186 MPH

i just wanted to clarify that the reason my TS motor was sitting at Mike's dyno is that i brought to Mike what we thought were the right pieces to make big power starting 5 years ago. this goes back to the previous comments regarding endless testing and upgrades. Anyone that has built one of these TS motors knows it is not a simple deal and you do not go to the JEG's website to order stock parts.

KB BLocks with raised cam location
LSM Cam Cores
60 mm bearings
relocating lifters ever so slightly to try and clean up Geometry.
Raw castings to Modern for port work and valve relocations.
Intakes dont exist.
ON and on

I finally told Mike @ MM to bolt it together as i was beyond the point of making great power advancements for the dollars we were spending.

We could always hit the track with the 2 stages of juice on the billet runner intake and add a 3rd to the plenum.

I just hit a point where i was watching guys thrash just to qualify and had to make a decision to change brands for the dragsters power. when you consider sponsorships and the impact of not qualifying it was not worth the hassle.

We still have our Mopar collection and we will be strong in the new Super Stock and Stocker battles with the fords and chevys as our new challengers are completed.

Mine is the 4.840bs KB block which adds a few other changes plus its a 11.225 tall deck so that changes even more!!

Only thing we haven;t done is the 60mm cam... but all in good time because i will not be starting over with a completely different set up in the near future. Also with us N/A is the only way we can go.

I'm sure if i gave enough money to Koffles or Muscle Motors or to any reputable engine builder they can do it with enough time and money.

One guy in our club has been buying Schmits new 650 pulling engine almost every second year. 4 years ago he bought a 4.840bs 636 with 1300+hp and i was trying to compete with my 496 850ci engine, then two years ago he bought a 4.900BS schmit 650 with 1400+hp now im trying to compete with my 650 at 1200hp. My point is, he is now 100 or more horse down from the newest pulling engines out there and he is a total engine design behind since all the newest pulling engines are the 5 inch BS. Although he might just buy a new one and that will be that... Nice to have money!

NO ADRL for us, way out of our league...We will be running at Cecil & Atco's Outlaw 10.5 Series which has rules to keep racing competitve for nitrous cars...we could come in at 2700# w/ a 5"bs, 800"ci car, which 99% of the racers who race the series w/ nitrous can't get to 2700#, so they say......we CAN get to 2700# no problem!

Also, the series is 1/8th mile, so that does help out the nitrous cars too.....oh yeah, and $5K to win each monthy race at BOTH tracks....$10K per month up for grabs......

IMO, I dont care what the flow numbers say, no Predator head will stay w/ a '99 Hemi N/A engine.......a guy from Canada who runs Nitrous '99 Hemi setups stated that his 650", 4.9"BS engine, built for Nitrous (13:1 comp, nitrous cam,smaller carbs, etc) dynoed 1400HP.

And, those numbers aint right, sorry Go Greem, i love your car, but remember, as good as the Pred is its still a 4.8 BS head. Get Indy to make a 4.9 or 5.0 and it would flow like a '99 most likely. The '99 uses a 2.55 intake vs the 2.45 on the Pred..its good for another 30-50cfm.

Guys lets be honest.



1500 with 650 inches is a tall order unless your pulling bearings every 3 passes and checking wrist pins? Not very economical for a bracket motor? i dont know that i have ever seen a car run numbers of 1500 horse NA?


Yep, 1500 N/A is tremendous steam for any engine in the 650ci range.

Friends of mine have a killer backhalf 70' Cuda at just over 3000#. So far, it has been 7.50 @ 182 with a Torqueflite.

Its powered by a 550ci HEMI 99'. By todays standards, that is a small engine.




I think I know who Jim is talking about and that is a 550" N/A 4.9"BS Hemi and he said that comes in at around 1450HP....and guess what, when you put it in the Wallace ET Calculator, it is dead on...7.50 @ 3300#'s

Keep in mind, the current 99 Hemi engine is going about 1460HP at 500" in AJ's car

1500HP @ 650" would be NO PROBLEM AT ALL for a '99 Hemi engine

Has anyone ever built a motor that big with billet heads? I think the millinum heads are still cast right? What about some A. Johnson (fuel guy) or Ken Veney billet heads with big valves. I think they can go 2.6 intakes. Even BAE stuff has big valves.

I agree with go green, for the cash spent on NA you could build motor like Blown572darts and have 2500hp.

Those heads are all 4.8 BS if i'm not mistaken. Nobody makes a 426 style hemi in bigger bore spaces, and those heads are all designed for forced induction. Plus the chambers(hemispherical)are to big requiring a heavy piston.

I know of a guy who has taken the millenium head as far as it could go and got nearly 700 ci from a mopar (much)raised block. even on huge loads nitrous he could not compete in pro mod. He(james Duncan)was unsucessful in getting Stage 5 or anyone else to make a 5.BS 426 style head..just not enuff demand he said. But he felt a 426 head THAT big COULD be competetive. Sadly no-one will probably ever know..sure would like to see it tried , tho.

Dont know if you could squeeza 2.6 valve on 4.8 BS. Sanchez heads(Total Flow) can go over 2.5 he says. This is from alan Johnsons site:

Chrysler-Hemi / Alcohol STG II

These heads are machined from billet 6061 T-6 aluminum, and provide the same air flow characteristics as their Top Fuel cousins. They are the first choice of many Alcohol Dragster and Funny Car teams. They are also very popular with Drag Boats, A-Gas, Nostalgia, and truck and tractor pulling competitors. Must be used with an AJPE supercharger manifold. They are 100% CNC ported, and come fully machined, ready for assembly with 2.400" x 1.950" diameter valves.


Standard Features Include:
100% CNC Porting
3/8" Diameter. Rocker Dowels
9/16" Stud Holes

Hemi chambered heads like manifold pressure, but normally don't spray well. That being said, this discussion seemed to be about n/a engines. If we are talking about power adders, the Hemi rules the forced induction world completely.

These are only my opinions, your mileage may vary

If somebody was to go all out they should contact Tim at FHO
He is working on a specially cast head by stage v that flows in the 650cfm range.

Would they fit on a KB block that already has the 4.840BS?
